Uh, I may have to take it back. It seems to be a conflict of keyboard shortcuts on Mac only. The shortcut is actually Cmd+←, on Mac. The corresponding shortcut, for going back, is Alt+← on Linux/Windows, I substituted Cmd with Ctrl without verifying, knowing that's true for many cases. Then, Mac devices doesn't have a Home key, so it allows Cmd+← to act like it, i.e. to jump to the start of a line, but Linux/Windows have Home, so Alt+← has no need to multi-role. When a input field is focused, these two roles conflict, but only on Mac. > Is this an accessibility concern? Per [0] it looks like jumping to an element > is > considered somewhat hostile.

It's not better or worse. At this point I can't really blame setting autofocus, or tell if this change is worth it. -- Sdrager, Blair Noctis
